US Equestrian has announced a substitute to their short list for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon. Jessica Springsteen has withdrawn herself from consideration, and as a result, Lillie Keenan will replace Springsteen on the short list as approved by the US Equestrian Board of Directors and in accordance with the WEG U.S. Show Jumping Team selection procedures.
“After speaking further with my team and my owners, we felt that the WEG was not an ideal target for RMF Swinny Du Parc this year,” said Springsteen. “We will be redirecting her program in order to gain further experience and look forward to future U.S. team opportunities.”
